lyrics

Well I saw the thing crawling out of the ground
It was stumbling about, made a horrible sound
I commenced to shaking and I say "ooh-eee!
It looks like a purple people hater to me"

It was a four-eyed, devil-horned, crying purple people hater
Four-eyed, devil-horned, crying purple people hater
Four-eyed, devil-horned, crying purple people hater
Sure looks strange to me (four eyes?)

Well he brushed off the earth and he leaned on a tree
I said Mr. Purple People Hater, don't hate me
I heard him say in a voice so gruff
(STD ...)

It was a four-eyed, devil-horned, crying purple people hater
Four-eyed, devil-horned, crying purple people hater
Four-eyed, devil-horned, crying purple people hater
Sure looks strange to me (devil horns?)

I said, Mr. Purple People Hater, what's your deal?
And then he shot me a look, his eyes were cold as steel
I asked him the reason that he came to land
(STD ... )

Well bless my soul, rock and roll, crying purple people hater
Pigeon-toed, under-growed, crying purple people hater
(Hot pink hot pants!) friendly little people hater
What a sight to see (oh!)

And then he turned from the tree and his face had turned red
And he started to rap, up off the top of his head
It was a syncopated cadence with a banging hook
(STD: ... )

Well, hit the stage, get a cage, crying purple people hater
Middle-aged, made of rage, crying purple people hater
(STD: ... ) crying purple people hater
What a sight to see (purple people?)

Well, he went on his way, and then what do you know?
I saw him last night at a hip hop show
He was killing it up until he saw me and said
That if I ever say his name again I'll wish I were dead

Net Split or, the Fathomless Heartbreak of Online Itself

Couldn't have made "BURNER" without the Nerdcore genre this man started. Love this O.G.'s exasperated take on the modern internet, and hope he hasn't given it up entirely! Laurence Warner

Alter Ego
by LEX the Lexicon Artist

supported by 32 fans who also own “The Purple People Hater (feat. Insane Ian)”

I didn't think it was possible to top "Raging Ego" because of how incredible it was but I was dead wrong. This record is flawless. Lex took sharp lyrics, phenomenal story telling and mind blowing beats and sharpened them into a fine and perfected blade of hip hop. Absolutely brilliant. Matt aka Stormageddon

Too Big To Fail, Part One
by Beefy

supported by 26 fans who also own “The Purple People Hater (feat. Insane Ian)”

The arrangement and the seriousness in which Beefy doesn't take things too seriously is where this record, and indeed all of his works have really shined. This isn't to say the passion and the love aren't there, because they are, in spades. This is a fun ride through the genre of Nerdcore and there is a level of innovation in Mr. Keith A. Moore that has been honed to a fine point with the hilt being as blunt and unapologetic as ever! Electric X
